A X street girl says she is afraid of all
kinds of snakes except the beau-con-

A female poet sends few lines enti-
tied "Words That Burn" She struck
it about right that time. They did burn
elegantly. .--StGtesma
Some of the paragraphers have been
facetiously referring to earthquakes as
real estate movements. We should say
they had more to do with ground rents.

burned, 76 postal cars were burned or

Almost before the ovens in the crema-
tories in this country have become thor
oughly heated a new process of incinera-
tion is invented in Italy. Under the Ital-
ian method the intense heat necessary for
consuming the body is procured by cleo
tricity, thus doing away with many dis
agreeable features surrounding crcma-
ton as it is at present carried on at Fresh
Pond, Long Island; Lancaster, Peunsyl-
vania, and other places.

awry and pair of white overgaiters on

''Now mind what 1 say" said Billy
Van Kick, clutching the lovers arm
with one hand and the bell with the
other, and speaking in a peremptory
voice. 'Be sure and do the elegpnt; pull
down your cuffs and put on an easy smile,
an toss off few Jokes. Then take a
little flyer into poetry, and if she shows
a strong list t leward lam her up into
the wind an keep her there. After this
take her hand in yours and tell her the
hull racket"
With reassuring squeeze of the arm
the faithful friend gave the bell mighty
jerk, scudded down the steps, and took
up commanding position on fire plug
across the street.
There was the hustle of retreating
footsteps in the passage and the door
was thrown open by one of the six sis.
ters of the beloved Of P. Livingston
7 Tidd's SOUL She smiled a cheerful well
come, and asked him if he was well,
and said that Minnie would be down in
minute. The mouth of Tidd opened
aud his head shook, but he could not
utter a word. He stood as though
rooted to the spot until Voice which
hoated gently through the darkness from
across the street said:
go in, you chump"
He started, took off the shining hat,
dropped it as he crossed the threshold,
stumbled against it, and sent it spinning
down the passage.
''Merciful heavensw said the Voice,
plaintively, Ego light on that hat, will
you9"
Then the door closed and Mr.. Tidd
wandered into the parlor and wished
that he were dead. Shortly after that
the girl with the placid face, and she
had, too, plump figure, pretty hand,
and kind heart, came timidly in, and
the six sisters arranged themselves on
the stairs while the fat mother of the
family sat on the top step and cried with
the keenest enjoyment. There was an
awful hush. Mr.. Tidd stepped on his
feet, and found his hands of measure
less size. He had renounced the hat for
ever, but he still carried the cane as
and might rise if not watched and smite
him at any moment. Minnie asked hin
in trembling little voice, as she sat or
Ine euSe Ol uer cnalr, WIFI uEr eyes very
wide open and her little hands inter
locked, if the weather was warmer ol
colder, and he answered something thai
sounded like "Quite so," but it NIGH
have been anything else. What the
deuce was the matter with that cane
it began to wobble, and the unhappy
Tidd became miserably conscious that il
would get away from him in spite of his
efforts. He clutched at it wildly, bu
it eluded him and fell to the floor. Will
a gasp he leaned down to pick it up
and as he did so he glanced at the littl'
maiden who sat so near him. Her eyel
shone with such gentle sympathy anc
love that the poor fellow sank on hi
knees, put his arms around her waist
and hid his face in her neck, while she
timorously stroked his hair. And SO the
deed was done.-NeaD York Sun.

The New York Sun relates that while
Thomas G. Acton was Sub Treasurer he
had for visitor a young Connecticut
miss, and he instructed Cashier Floyd
TO show her and her mamma through
she vaults and let them see how COM
pactly Uncle Sam stored $14O, 600, 600.
Mr.. Floyd is one of those jolly old gen
tlemen who believe in pleasing the
young folks. He took from one of the
vaults package containing $4,000, 900
in $40, 900 bank notes, and handing it to
the young miss, said, 81 guess we can
spare that for you" She looked pleased,
folded the package of new bills in the
middle, opened her hand satchel, and
was about to drop the big fortune into
II when Mr.. Floyd, noticing that she
was in earnest, told her that the Gov
srnment was little short that day, and
e would have to postpone the gift to
ue other time. The young miss lives
oreslgile, Conn, and only recently
lhou8ht her papa might let her
p New York and get the present
fIue her at the Treasury.

Lnrrest Doc in AmerIcn.

While Mr.. Bradenburgh was coming
down Chestnut street with his monster
dog Koloss the crowd that collected
about him was so dense as to need police
interference, and be was ordered off the
street for causing a blockade, Koloss
is truly magnificent specimen of the
dog family, immense head, great limbs
and huge body of a tawny yellow color,
streaked with dark gray. When reclin-
ing at full length on the floor Koloss
bears a strong resemblance to sea lion,
yet he is exceedingly gentle, and is the
pet of the ladies and children. A dog
fancier on Eighth street, who has had
considerable experience in raising blood
hounds, says this is the largest animal
he ever saw, and pronounces Koloss the
largest dog in America. KOloss is nine
feet long and five feet high. He is an
Ulmer dog, species of Danish hound,
and comes Of a noble ancestry. Although
giant in size he has not yet attained full
growth, since he is only pup.-Phi a.

The statement having been published
that the Government losses annually
from 81, 900, 600 to 50, 1000, 900 by stamps
being washed and used second time,
New York Tribune reporter asked
Postmaster Pearson what foundation
there was for such statement
''None whatever" replied Mr.. Pearson.
"some years ago the Third Assistant
Postmaster General made similar
statement in his report and ever since
then, whenever an inventor wishes to
float scheme for canceling stamps the
assertion is made anew. The Govern
ment, l don't believe, looses 5000 in this
manner. We find few attempts at such
a fraud in our Office aud the sum to be

THE HARVEST.

The thistle lows her airy host
To every breeze that blows;
On every coast the traveller secs
The seed the thistle sows.
Your bars are all an idle boast;
In vain are hedge and wall;
The thistle sows her airy host
To pass beyond them all.
The cup of grain without a care
Is cast to field and plain;
But who is there to reap the yield
On board the flying trainl
The sport Of mocldng earth and air,
Her scattered wealth appears;
For she who sows without care
Can never bind the earsl
